And Biden wants end gas powered (ICE) vehicles by 2035... including buses...RIGHT!!!

[healthmyths]

What causes global warming thousands of years ago?
These have been caused by many natural factors, including changes in the sun, emissions from volcanoes, variations in Earth's orbit and levels of carbon dioxide (CO2). Global climate change has typically occurred very slowly, over thousands or millions of years.

What causes the Earth's climate to change? - British Geological Survey

Global climate change has typically occurred very slowly. However, research shows that the current climate is changing more rapidly.

And yet where was the CO2 emissions by fossil fuels?

I understand you believe that lie, my point is that you've stopped spreading it, and are instead cheering increased oil production. Which means you know it's a lie, and probably always did.

Not too bright huh. When the last Bush was in office we imported a great deal more oil than we produce. Thanks to the turnaround during Obama's two term that trend turned around. After Trump and into the Biden administration we are coming close to being oil independent. That is worth celebrating. Curbing our appetite for oil will not stop the worlds appetite either, so we will need to learn to adapt to a warmer world (with a cruise across the north pole, where if you're lucky you too can see a polar bear drowning.........)

What a wonderful world....

All part of crippling Americans mobility. We should all be bike and bus riders with no cars. We have seen their failure in cold weather. Batteries are like that. Gas engines are not

So once again, I'm 100% right in observing that you're cheering for increased oil production, and you're no longer spreading the lie that it somehow causes global warming.

The scientists calculated that the sediment was deposited in an ice-free environment roughly 416,000 years ago.
“It’s really the first bulletproof evidence that much of the Greenland ice sheet vanished when it got warm,” Bierman said. “Greenland’s past, preserved in 12 feet of frozen soil, suggests a warm, wet, and largely ice-free future for planet Earth,” he added.

BlindBoo... since you NEVER provide links to substantiate your comments, after reading the above, tell me how did Greenland get warm 416,000 years ago when there were no fossil fuel emissions of CO2, much less gas guzzling cars?

It's my opinion that I was clarify for the Martian. But for the record there is plenty of evidence that the petroleum age has increase those concentrations and it is responsible for about 2 degrees in extra heat. Not a globe killer, imo.

Please prove what you wrote "we're exporting record amounts"!
In 2022, the United States exported about 9.52 million b/d of petroleum to 180 countries and 4 U.S. territories.

U.S. government to end gas-powered vehicle purchases by 2035 under Biden order​

U.S. government to end gas-powered vehicle purchases by 2035 under Biden order

The U.S. government plans to end purchases of gas-powered vehicles by 2035 in a move to lower emissions and promote electric cars under an executive order signed by President Joe Biden on Wednesday.

Electric buses are sitting unused in cities across the US; here's why
Cities coast-to-coast grappling with broken-down e-buses that cannot be fixed

Electric buses are sitting unused in cities across the US; here's why

Many U.S. cities are grappling with broken-down electric transit vehicles that cannot be fixed, months after the largest E-bus manufacturer filed for bankruptcy.

www.foxbusiness.com

However, cities from coast-to-coast are grappling with broken-down e-buses that cannot be fixed, are too expensive to fix, or they have scrapped their electric fleets altogether.

• Officials in Asheville, North Carolina, recently expressed frustration that three of the five e-buses the city purchased for millions in 2018 are now sitting idle due to a combination of software issues, mechanical problems and an inability to obtain replacement parts.
• The Denver Gazette reported two of the four e-buses Colorado Springs' Mountain Metropolitan Transit acquired in 2021 are not running. They cost $1.2 million a piece, mostly paid for by government grants.
• Then in Sept. 2021, the Daily Bulletin out of California reported that "As of August, Foothill Transit, based in West Covina and serving the San Gabriel Valley, parts of Los Angeles and Pomona Valley, had 13 idled battery-electric buses out of 32 in its fleet. At one point, the agency indicated up to 67% of its electric buses were not operating during 2019 and 2020."
• The lawyers told the court Broward County purchased 42 buses from Proterra for $54 million, and the first batch only operated for an average of 600 miles before breaking down, while the second batch averaged 1,800. For comparison, the county's diesel buses average 4,500 between failures, the filing said.

And Biden's executive order is to:
The U.S. government plans to end purchases of gas-powered vehicles by 2035 in a move to lower emissions and promote electric cars under an executive order signed by President Joe Biden on Wednesday.
The government owns more than 650,000 vehicles and purchases about 50,000 annually. Biden's executive order said that light-duty vehicles acquired by the government will be emission-free by 2027.


And this doesn't EVEN answer the biggest problem: How will the 25% more electricity come from that is generated by the
11,070 total power plants in usa of which 6,753 power plants are fossil fuels which Biden guarantees to rid fossil fuels!

"I guarantee We Are Going To Get Rid of Fossil Fuels”

And again it is the tax payers stuck with the bills.

The Biden administration gave Albuquerque $18.2 million to purchase 20 more electric busses from Proterra, the largest manufacturer of city type bus transportation, but Proterra declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy before they delivered the busses and now the city doesn't know if it will ever get them. That does not bode well for the industry when auto makers are dumping their EV cars as quickly as they can. And a company that cannot deliver on the busses isn't going to be able to deliver on the parts for the busses it has already delivered. And this is becoming more and more a universal problem for everybody.

And you can bet all those other cities are getting huge grants from the federal government for their EV transportation too. Not to mention the millions the federal government gave Proterra before it declared bankruptcy in August 2023.

We can be sure that the trillions of spending the government has pushed through Congress and the White House the last three years will largely not benefit many, if any of us.

What Happens Now That Albuquerque’s e-Bus Company Is Bankrupt?

Proterra Inc. was expected to provide the city with 20 electric buses by 2026, but the manufacturing company announced its bankruptcy earlier this month. Payment for the vehicles has not yet been submitted to the company.

[healthmyths]

So you admit Tater gets no credit for oil production.

Biden increased oil exports an average of 8.2% Trump increased export 69.8% .
So Whatever credit Biden takes is because Trump generated federal leases

This is Federal land leases..signed by Presidents.
NOT private lands but FEDERAL lands.

 

[healthmyths]

Howmany on leases approved under Tater?

Zero sound about right, Simp?

 

[healthmyths]

Correct. No president has much influence over production on private land. The states have more control than the feds.

Right no direct influence... What happens though is when Biden did as the following chart shows, REDUCING the number of FEDERAL leases on Federal lands that produce about 24% of all oil production, it means nearly 1/4th of oil production reduced. Reduced Federal oil production would reduce the existing supply.
With Biden as President saying..."I guarantee We Are Going To Get Rid of Fossil Fuels” September 06, 2019, 5:49 PM


the oil companies have excuses to raise prices! And and I quote the CEO of Chevron, Mike Wirth's response:
"You’re looking at committing capital 10 years out, that will need decades to offer a return for shareholders, in a policy environment where governments around the world are saying, ‘We don’t want these products.’”

US May Never Build New Refinery Even With Surging Gas Prices, Chevron CEO Says

Coupled with Biden's actions that affected directly oil prices AND his guarantee to" rid fossil fuels" there is no doubt the oil companies' existence is threatened.... meaning higher prices today!

 

[BlindBoo]

That % of production continue to produce like the near million producing wells in the US Oil Patch. Push your lie that it reduced production somewhere else. There is plenty of land in the Permian Basin and elsewhere to keep increasing our production without resorting to a firesale of federal leases.

Once again your exaggerations "near million producing wells in the US Oil Patch"...mislead people who believe what you comment!
A) Total oil wells producing by the end of 2021 and continued to decline in 2022 to 912,962 wells.

US Oil and Gas Wells by Production Rate - U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA)

B) Of which came from over 89,000 wells on federal lands.

C) That leaves total NON Federal land with no leases to be signed by Biden or 823,962 producing oil wells.
So you lied when you said "near million"

 

[Blues Man]

EO's can be overturned with a stroke of a pen, or a vote in Congress.

There is no Constitutional provision authorizing executive orders so they are meaningless.

Yet production of crude oil is at an all time high. As is the production of NG. As are the exports of LNG and Refined product.

No leasing you say?

“The Biden administration has leased fewer acres for oil-and-gas drilling offshore and on federal land than any other administration in its early stages dating back to the end of World War II, according to a Wall Street Journal analysis. President Biden’s Interior Department leased 126,228 acres for drilling through Aug. 20, his first 19 months in office, the analysis found. No other president since Richard Nixon in 1969-70 leased out fewer than 4.4 million acres at this stage in his first term.”
The Journal continues: “Under Mr. Biden’s stewardship the decline has quickened, with leasing down 97% from the first 19 months of his predecessor Donald Trump’s term…In all, the Interior Department has awarded 203 leases for oil and gas development during Mr. Biden’s first 19 months in office. Former presidents Trump and Obama each approved 10 times as many leases during the same period, the Journal’s analysis shows.”

Biden Has Issued the Fewest Oil & Gas Leases of Any President Since World War II

Over the weekend, the Wall Street Journal released a new analysis of the Biden administration’s war on American energy. Specifically, the Journal examined the total acreage of land leased by the Biden administration for oil and gas production. The amount is historically low. The Journal reports...
